问: This increases the body's hemoglobin count, thereby increasing the capacity for oxygen delivery and raising the level of endurance. 请问句中 thereby + -ing 是什 么结构,在句中起什么作用? 答 : 这是一个副词 thereby + 现在分词 结构,在句中作结果状语。这个句子的意思是:这 种方法能增加体内的血红蛋白的数量,从而增加血液的输氧能力并提高耐力水平。 我们都知道,两个句子如果是因果关系,常用 thus、therefore、hence、thereby 等承联, 此时两个句子的主语为不同的主语。如: The cost of transport is a major expense for an industry. Therefore, factory location is an important consideration. (也可用 thus, hence, thereby) 运输费用是一个行业的主要开支。因此,工厂选址是一个重要的考虑因素。 ● 如果两个句子的主语同一主语,可用 and thus/therefore/hence/thereby 连接一个省 略主语的分句。如: A firm might sometimes sell at a loss to drive a competitor out of business, and thus (it) increases its market power. (it 指 a firm, 因为同一主语自然省略) 公司有时会通过亏本出售来将对手挤垮,从而提高其市场地位。 ● 如果两个句子的主语为同一主语,还可用 thus/thereby + -ing (现在分词)短语, 作结果状语,前面句子表示原因,后面的分词短语表示结果。(习惯上不用 therefore 和 hence,用 thus 或 thereby)因此上面句子也可以改成: A firm might sometimes sell at a loss to drive a competitor out of business, thus increasing its market power. 公司有时会通过亏本出售来将对手挤垮,从而提高其市场地位。 更多例句 In this way, advertising enhances information flows between traders, and thus strengthens competitive market forces.
